[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell her she needs to move out and you will find a new roommate because she clearly can't afford to live where you are living if five or ten extra dollars a month for reasonable heat expenses is too much for her. You aren't talking about keeping temps at 75, 66-68 is very reasonable.

She's probably also a PITA on other expenses. Don't accommodate her ridiculousness. [/quote]

+1.  I had a roommate like this in college who would try to put duct tape over the thermostat in the winter.  She complained about being soooo broke, habing student loans, etc.  Then why was she living in a nice luxury student apartment with pool, etc.

If she can't pay basic utilities, she needs to move elsewhere.  It's not like you're asking her to chip in on HBO or something optional.  And I disagree you should pay more because you're hearing the house while working from home.  It's so much more energy efficient to maintain a reasonable temp like 66-68 degrees than to have the temp drop every morning and then work over time to heat back up in the evenings.[/quote]
